It’s almost time for summer vacation here in North America. Traditionally, I stop posting bi-weekly blogs and newsletters during this period, to avoid sending emails to accounts that won’t be checked until next September. So, I’ll probably send a single blog at the end of July, but not much else over these summer months. Here’s a final video that I think you’ll enjoy – especially if you’ve ever coached or taught soccer.

The old one was made on an outdated Microsoft Paint document, while the new one is obviously professionally done.
